What is Userfeel?
Userfeel is a usability testing platform where you get paid to test websites and apps while providing feedback. Companies pay Userfeel to find real users who can test their products and provide honest opinions - and you can be one of those testers.
Similar to UserTesting, Userfeel pays $10 for tests that typically take 10-20 minutes. You'll navigate websites, complete tasks, and speak your thoughts out loud while screen recording software captures your experience.
Userfeel has been operating since 2010 and is a legitimate alternative to UserTesting, especially useful since UserTesting doesn't accept testers from all countries.
